I love this so much. So glad someone wrote this!
I really can't believe how "into" tech people are. It's just a boring tool for your life, not an end-goal in itself.
BTW I feel the only leading company that is aligned with this vision is Apple.

What is football? It's just an entertainment, not an end-goal in itself.
What are family dramas? They're only a boring part of life, not an end-goal in itself.
I'll leave the (figurative) you to enjoy your family dramas and football and drunken parties with friends if you leave me to enjoy my quadcopters and 3D printers.
I wanted to say something to this effect but the last 12-18 months has shown that Apple is losing its way also.
There is no set end-goal. You create your own end-goal. That's the point of human existence, to create your own meaning.
Citation needed. The main reason people don't die at birth as much or live longer is not some high technology, but a few basics: understanding of bacteria and the need to sterilize, access to running water, etc.
So, duh, just because we're benefited from such low level technology, doesn't mean we have to like any and all technology, or that it's not diminishing returns above some point.
Or, conversely, animals are alive today even without technology (and some are dying because of it, perhaps even man, if we go on with a nuclear war or some other such BS).
